3 Gadwall

As I walked around (well half-way round on account of the 'Jetty' filming going on), I noticed a small party of three ducks flying around, and on closer examination they proved to be Gadwall.  They circled a few times, and eventually landed on the water, though somewhat distantly.   Little else to report apart from a Black-headed Gull sitting forlornly on the frost-covered boom by the overflow.
